Hello my pug people! I’m Benjamin Pratt, but you can call me Benny. I lived a life of breeding in my 7 years of life so I am not used to being inside a house and having people who want to touch me. It’s all very new and scary to me. There are things I enjoy very much and that is food. I love meal times! I get fed twice a day and bark plus act pretty goofy. I go right into my crate for a treat of course. I have not turned down any treats. I do enjoy healthy snacks as well like apples and carrots. I am not potty trained so I do have to wear a belly band at all times. I do want to be a good boy but I am very scared at all this new stuff. I think I might like the lady of the house. She talks to me a lot. Telling me how handsome I am and that I’m a good boy. I still get scared when she tries to put a belly band on me or touch me. I like to keep tabs on her though so I follow her to make sure she is safe but mostly to make sure she will feed me later. Men really scare me and I bark and run from the guy who lives here sometimes. He’s not around all the time as his job takes him away from home so this kind of adds to my fear of him. I’m calmer when it’s just me and the lady. I get along with the pugs in the house. I will get pushy to try to get their food at times but I do actually listen to the lady when she says Sir! That is not your food. I am going to require a lot of patience because I’m not a regular pug yet. I think I would like to be but I’m still scared of this new world. I only have 4 teeth left and it is all the canines so I’m a snaggle tooth dream boat per my foster mom.
